When I came out to my uber-religious parents they were in complete shock and denial, the conversation ending with: “If that’s the way you are, then fine, but you’ll have to be single for the rest of your life,” that they would cut off any financial assistance to me until I recanted my “lifestyle,” and none of my “friends” were welcome in their home when I visited. Two days later they called and said, “We want you to know we love you, we always have and we always will. You’re not alone.” It will take time, but I know we’ll get through this. Love conquers all.
